Office Hours/Anthropology

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Well, even though he now only has the one anthropology student left, Daniel's still in his office, just in case.

He's grading Kiki's paper, and only getting slightly distracted by his list of things to do.

Which is getting longer and longer.

"Almost nothing at all has happened," said Janet. "Though I found out that Professor Dream is leaving."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Daniel said. "I don't know him, but he seemed to be a good teacher. It seems like a lot of teachers are leaving."

"This place is more than a little crazy," said Janet. "And he was a very good teacher. But he said that he's got to take care of things at home."

"That's perfectly understandable," Daniel nodded. He grinned. "I wonder if that means that languages is free for next year?"

Re: NFB

"I suppose it is. I don't know if they've hired anyone new yet," said Janet. Then she frowned. "Though you realize that if you start teaching languages, I can't take it any more."

Daniel frowned too. "Okay, yes, that's true. And I'd probably have to put up with Elizabeth as well, I'd presume."

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"Put up with?" asked Janet, raising one eyebrow. "Come on, she doesn't tease you that badly, does she?"

Actually, this was Liz. She probably did.

Re: NFB

Daniel just looked at her, his eyebrows raised.

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

Janet smiled sheepishly. "All right, she gives you hell, I'm sure of it. You poor man."

Re: NFB

Daniel sighed melodramatically. "I deal with it. But I'd rather not ask for trouble by having her take one of my classes."

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"Yes, well, it's not like you don't have any reason to deal with it," said Janet. And then she blushed faintly. "But you're right; Liz isn't going to give up languages."

Re: NFB

Daniel just looked down at his desk, slightly uncomfortably. "I think I'll just stick with archaeology and/or anthropology. Safest all round really."

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"Um. Sorry." Janet looked down. "At least those are classes I don't need to take. I can learn enough about those subjects just listening to you."

Re: NFB

"I don't go on that much? Do I?"

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"I don't mind when you do," said Janet. "If it's a problem, I tell you, remember?"

Re: NFB

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Good," Daniel smiled at her. "Because I'd hate to be continually boring you."

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"Never," said Janet, smiling back at him. "You're a very interesting person."

Re: NFB

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel laughed slightly, looking a little embarrassed. "Oh, I wouldn't go that far," he said.

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"I would." Janet smiled again.

So why was she sitting all the way over here again?

Re: NFB

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel glanced at his closed office door and then back at Janet again. This had failed spectacularly the last time, but the time in the library had worked...

"Come here," he said, moving away from the desk and holding out his arms.

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"All right," said Janet, standing up and going over to him. She stood in front of him and grinned a little mischievously. "Is this better?"

Re: NFB

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Daniel leant forward to grab her and pull her towards him.

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

Janet laughed as Daniel grabbed onto her. She reached out to brace her hands on his chest so she didn't lose her balance.

Re: NFB

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Now, see, that's much better," Daniel grinned.

Re: NFB

[janet_fraiser]

"I'd have to agree," said Janet, smiling up at him. She shifted in his lap so that she was sitting comfortably.
